Chapter 1216 - 1215: Played Like a Monkey
"No need, you better eat it yourself, eating more is good for your health."Tang Rao quickly waved his hand at Fang Jinxiu, covering his nose as he wanted to run away.
Such a strong smell almost overwhelmed Tang Rao's Divine Sense.
"Master, what's that smell outside?"
The Purple Crystal Beast had a keen nose, extremely sensitive even to the outside world apart from the Little World.
"Red-braised pig offal, don't eat it, you'll be poisoned."
Tang Rao was giving the Purple Crystal Beast some honest advice.
"Poisoned? But it smells so good!"
The Purple Crystal Beast was infatuated with red-braised pig offal, just like it was with Purple Crystals; its eyes were glowing, and Tang Rao couldn't block that gaze.
"It smells good?"
He might have come across a fake Purple Crystal Beast.
"How about I let you out to taste it, to experience the harshness of life?"
Tang Rao consulted with the Purple Crystal Beast.
This was the Kao Shan Sect; no one here would harm the Purple Crystal Beast.
Of course, the precondition was that the Purple Crystal Beast must not roar after coming out.
Its roar was incredibly unbearable, even Tang Rao found it intolerable, and the others might die of fright.
"Sure, sure."
The Purple Crystal Beast almost couldn't hold back any longer.
"No eating humans, no random roaring. If you fail at either, I'll drag you back for a resculpting."
Tang Rao threatened.
"Sure, sure."
Despite the Purple Crystal Beast being terrifying enough to stomp eight people to death with its eight legs, under its ugly appearance, it actually had a gentle heart.
Tang Rao saw the words "sincerity" in the eyes of the Purple Crystal Beast, so he agreed to let it roam outside a bit.
"Jinxiu, a big creature caught the scent of your red-braised pig offal and wants to come out for a taste; make sure to save some for it."
This big guy was no ordinary one, and to prevent it from frightening Fang Jinxiu, Tang Rao gave her a heads-up.
"A big creature?"
Fang Jinxiu hadn't even finished asking when the Purple Crystal Beast had already jumped out of Tang Rao's Little World.
"Roar!"
The big guy roared with restraint, yet even so, it still scared Fang Jinxiu quite a bit.
"Tang Rao, is this the big creature you mentioned?"
Fang Jinxiu was holding onto the spatula, too afraid to move.
"Yeah, it's called the Purple Crystal Beast; you can call it Little Purple. It doesn't eat people, don't worry."
It doesn't eat people, don't worry?
Was this Tang Rao's evaluation of the Purple Crystal Beast? Why did looking at this big thing still make Fang Jinxiu feel uneasy inside?
"Tang Rao, how about you let it wait somewhere first? Once I finish cooking, I'll bring everything over to you guys, okay? I just feel this giant creature is too scary."
Wasn't Fang Jinxiu always brave before? Why did she suddenly become so timid today?
To avoid the big thing, she could even give up her favorite red-braised pig offal.
"You'll have plenty of time to spend together; why not get used to it gradually?"
Tang Rao didn't fear the big thing now; as long as Tang Rao existed, the Purple Crystal Beast would, too. If Tang Rao died, the Little World would disappear, and the Purple Crystal Beast would vanish as well.
Unless the Purple Crystal Beast had a death wish!
"Hi, hi there,"
Fang Jinxiu attempted to greet the Purple Crystal Beast. The beast roared once more, scaring Fang Jinxiu back several steps.
That was enough, but to show goodwill, the Purple Crystal Beast extended its mucus-covered tongue, licking Fang Jinxiu's face twice, knocking her down again.
"Looks like this big guy likes you more than me."
Tang Rao was starting to get a bit jealous.
"Don't let it like me; I'm scared of it liking me."
Fang Jinxiu was afraid of hurting the Purple Crystal Beast's feelings, so she spoke euphemistically.
"I am also afraid of it liking you."
Tang Rao tugged at the Purple Crystal Beast's skin, trying his best, but couldn't pull the beast over.
This thing was really heavy.
"Purple Crystal Beast, this is my wife. There's no future between you two. If you lay a hand on her again, I'll find a monster ten times uglier than you to disgust you every day."
The Purple Crystal Beast voluntarily stepped back, drooling over the pot instead of bothering Fang Jinxiu.
It was truly frightened by Tang Rao.
"Roar."
It wanted to eat.
Fang Jinxiu understood the Purple Crystal Beast's intention and served some for it.
But the big guy splitting such a small pot wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
"Why not eat it all then?"
This time, Fang Jinxiu handed the whole pot to the Purple Crystal Beast.
The Purple Crystal Beast was slightly satisfied this time.
While the Purple Crystal Beast was eating, Fang Jinxiu held Tang Rao's hand and said, "Tang Rao, I have something to tell you."
When Fang Jinxiu was serious, what she had to say was surely important as well.
"What is it?"
There was no one around, so Tang Rao wasn't worried about being overheard.
"I heard you want to give up on today's competition?"
Fang Jinxiu knew as well?
Tang Rao admitted.
"Indeed, there's such a thing. I'm not afraid, but because I'm not stable on my feet, participating in the mid-God's contest would only bring trouble and cause my brothers' wrongful deaths, which is not worth it."
Fang Jinxiu couldn't agree with Tang Rao's thoughts.
"Why didn't you say earlier; who said you'd definitely lose?"
Fang Jinxiu was so worked up about this matter she almost got red-eyed with Tang Rao.
"Kao Shan Sect has only a few mid-Gods, mostly early stage, and only two in the mid-stage. What can I do?"
In such a disparity of power, Tang Rao would rather avoid the spotlight than risk lives.
"We have guns; guns can solve everything."
Fang Jinxiu told Tang Rao.
"Guns that can shoot mid-Gods? You have guns that can shoot mid-Gods?"
Fang Jinxiu hadn't been in the Divine Realm for long; she wasn't even clear on the power levels here, so how could she have quickly made guns capable of killing mid-Gods?
"That's simple; just tweak some things inside."
Fang Jinxiu's things seemed simple, but to Tang Rao, it was as confusing as a monk at a loss.
"Forget it, let's talk about it next time; it's too late today even if I wanted to participate."
By this time, the contest was already over, so what could be done now? Was he going to chat and exchange experiences with the victors?
"Alright then, I don't have time to study how to modify it now anyway."
Fang Jinxiu yawned, lacking the energy to speak without her cherished red-braised pig offal.
"I thought you had it modified; turns out you haven't even started."
Was all the grand talk just to tease Tang Rao?
"I'll take a nap first, and once I'm awake, I'll modify it for you."
Had Fang Jinxiu started ignoring Tang Rao?
Tang Rao watched Fang Jinxiu's silhouette, a subtle sadness lingering.
"Roar!"
The Purple Crystal Beast finished off the remaining food and contentedly burped.
"You should be heading back after eating your fill, right?"
Tang Rao poured all the grievances he got from Fang Jinxiu onto the Purple Crystal Beast.
The Purple Crystal Beast sensed Tang Rao's anger and quickly shrank its head back into the Little World.
There's no denying that the outside world is indeed much more abundant than inside the Little World.
Unlike the Little World, where apart from the similarly-looking Purple Crystals, you can't even see a single beauty.
